Everyone Says I'm Paranoid

Apartment

Fierce Panda

WE SAY

We haven't been able to stop singing this song and we'd just decided it must be a hit when we heard it will be a Fierce Panda single. We've seen The Apartment live in both London and New York and they're remarkably tight. Stephen Jones (who signed The Killers, The Glitterati, Queens Of The Stoneage and others to Universal Publishing) rates them so much he has entered the world of management to take them on. Some think they could be the Police of the current wave of art rock - coming to market late but reaching new heights of popularity. They play the Bull and Gate, Kentish Town on the 27th.
